This is one hull of a mess.

More historic ships at the South Street Seaport could disappear as a Texas developer prepares to build a mega-mall at Pier 17 — and the city continues to try to unload its vessels.

The Seaport Museum wants to send the Peking, a 102-year-old barque at Pier 16, back to Hamburg, Germany, where it was built.

Negotiations with a Hamburg museum reportedly sank in October, but Seaport officials say it “remains interested.”

“The key thing is raising enough funds to get her across the Atlantic,” Seaport Museum interim director Jonathan Boulware said.

“We remain ready to give her as a gift,” he added. “But no arrangement has been reached.”

The city took over the Seaport Museum in July after the withdrawal of the Museum of the City of New York, which ran the entity since October 201l.

But the vessels are still in dire straits.

The Wavertree — a 128-year-old, iron-hulled sailing ship — will be booted from Pier 15 by spring to make room for Hornblower Cruises and Events, which signed a 10-year lease with the city’s Economic Development Corp.
